Mouse click event on window edge?

Question

Hi,
I have a JFrame and I need to detect a mouseclick when the window is maximised and when the mouse is clicked at the extreme left edge of the window.
How can I achieve this? Adding a mouselistener for the JFrame doesn't work either. Adding mouselisteners to the JFrame's glasspane, rootpane layeredpane also doesn't work. Please give me some pointers.
regards

    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.add(new JPanel());
    f.setVisible(true);
    f.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){
        System.out.println("me.getX() = "+me.getX()+"\nme.getY() = "+me.getY());
  public static void main(String[] args){new Testing();}
